pTokens are digital assets that are transparently pegged to another underlying asset. pTokens serve as a Cross-Chain token wrapper that allows users to more easily transfer value between different blockchains. Users can deposit a certain amount of the underlying asset (such as BTC or EOS) and request the equivalent pTokens that are pegged to them 1:1, such as pBTC or pEOS. Token holders can then take advantage of the Ethereum network by more easily exchanging them into ERC-20 tokens.

NIX is developing a cross-chain protocol with an emphasis on privacy. Their platform will be powered by the NIX coin, and will allow users to exchange supported coins with atomic swaps. Nix hopes to eliminate the need for centralized exchanges with their DEX manager. The platform is based on the Ghost Protocol, which uses elements of Zercoin, and integrates the Tor network to provide enhanced security and privacy for users. NIX allows developers create and attach their own networks to the NIX network as sidechains. The cross-chain platform has a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism.

MOAC is developing a multi-layer blockchain platform that aims to improve transaction speeds and scalability. MOAC's architecture is divided into a main chain and microchains, and uses sharding to improve network performance. This enables an asynchronous smart contract platform that increases the number of contracts that can be processed, as well as transaction speed.
MOAC's development platform allows DApp creators to choose from a variety of consensus algorithms. It also enables cross-chain exchanges of value between different blockchains.
